David Beckham's the latest public figure to cop the dodgy statue treatment, but this time it was all in the name of a classic stitch-up.

The ex-LA Galaxy player was to be honoured by his former club with a statue, which would be permanently installed outside the Los Angeles stadium.

Except fellow Brit and late night talk show host James Corden caught wind of the plans a little while ago - and decided to get involved.

Corden commissioned a Cristiano Ronaldo-esque statue, hired a whole bunch of actors - who repeatedly referred to him as "Dave" and praised his time at Man City - and set-up cameras at the informal "reveal".

While the full prank is still geo-blocked for Australia (rude, we know), LA Galaxy have posted a couple of snippets, which you can check out below.

Hopefully it's not too much longer until the video is available for us to watch and re-watch but, in the meantime, please take a closer look at what Beckham would look like if the Chesty Bonds Guy had fallen on hard times.
